In an instant, the seven-day pre-sale period ended.

"In the entire pre-sale period, only 1,200 units of Lingxi translators and 10,000 pairs of Lingxi headsets were sold, with a total value of only over 10 million."

"If Feixun's merchants didn't cut prices, they might be able to go up a little bit, but the ceiling is there, and it won't increase much."

Father Chen talked to Chen Shen about the results during the pre-sale period at dinner.

For the edges and corners, this result is undoubtedly extremely poor and does not meet people's expectations at all.

You know, the new year of the crimson storm model cooperating with other manufacturers, the global pre-sale was also opened one day ago.

As a result, in less than a day, the pre-sale value has exceeded an astonishing 800 million.

This kind of phenomenon has caused many people to say that they can make money just by focusing on making toys. There is no need to study other things.

In contrast, the seven-day pre-sale value of translation equipment only broke 10 million, and the business that is still declining has no value at all.

However, for the performance of the translator, the two fathers and sons of Chen Shen and the high-level edges and corners are acceptable.

Judging from the current results, even if the business of the translation machine loses money, it will not lose too much, and it may even make a little profit. In turn, it will give blood to the AI ​​translation team.

At this time, Mother Chen brought out the remaining dishes from the kitchen. The dishes on the dinner table were full of color and fragrance, and the surroundings were immediately enveloped by the smell of the dishes.

She turned off the TV in the living room, and there was an advertisement for Danshan Islands tourism on it. She sat at the dining table and said, "From my point of view, the Lingxi translator is selling so badly, so don’t increase the output. Now this batch of stock is enough. It’s been sold for a long time. In the future, the translation equipment will be mainly Lingxi headphones."

Father Chen shook his head and said, "You don't understand this. Regarding the translator, I don't give up completely as I said outside. We will have a big move next."

Mother Chen rolled her eyes, "No big action you make can change the essence of this product. Its status in the translation equipment is like the previous big brother, and it will eventually be eliminated."

"The best carrier after translation equipment is the interpretation headset."

"With the accurate pickup of human voice by the LingXin headset, we only need to add a call mode to only identify and pick up the user's voice, and the quality of the call will definitely be greatly improved."

"In this way, our interpreting headset can compete with other headsets on the market. For the same interpretation headset, the performance of the Lingxi headset is better than them, and for the traditional wireless headset, the Lingxi headset is better than They have an additional function of simultaneous interpretation, and they also have their own characteristics in sound quality and call quality."

Mother Chen talked freely, she was not a complete housewife.

As she said, the sound quality of the Lingxi headset is very good. After all, the headset needs to translate the voices of multiple people at the same time, and the translated content is fed back to the user in layers.

If the sound quality level is not clear, when there are many people around who speak a foreign language, the translation sound that the user hears will be like a mixed paste, and it is impossible to distinguish what is being said.

Father Chen picked up his rice bowl, grabbed a few mouthfuls of food, and said, "What you said makes sense. From the perspective of technology and practicality, translators are indeed going to be eliminated sooner or later, only the speed of elimination. "

With that, Father Chen turned his head and looked at Shen Chen: "Ah Shen, how long do you think the translator can stay on the market based on the current trend?"

Chen Shen kept his mouth open, savoring his mother’s long-lost cooking skills, and said: “In my opinion, the Lingxi translator does not need to be the third generation. As long as we complete the mutual translation in various languages, it will soon be Replaced by headphones."

"How do you say?" Father Chen stopped his chopsticks and listened carefully to his son's analysis.

"A very simple thing, if we have completed the mutual translation of languages ​​from all over the world, the Germans can put on our headphones and can translate the language they hear into German. The same is true for the French. All mainstream languages ​​in the world can be mutually translated. Translated, then the Lingxi headset is no longer limited to tourists in the tourist market." Chen Shen said casually while eating.

Father Chen is a wise man, and he immediately realized what Chen Shen meant!

"You mean that everyone in the tourism industry will wear our headsets? Become our customers?"

Father Chen’s brains turned quickly, “At that time, in major tourist cities, whether it is a service provider or a tourist enjoying service, both the supplier and the buyer must wear our headsets, so that we will become a communication between the two parties. Communication platform!"

The translation demand of the tourism service provider is a market that has not been developed deeply. If it can reach the point Chen Shen said, then the edges and corners are the only players in this market!

"Yes." Chen Shen nodded.

"But if you want to do this, you must add a new language training subject for Bai Ze Translator."

Model training for AI translation requires the use of a large number of control corpora as training data sets.

Domestic companies like Feixun use at least hundreds of millions of pairs of corpus for Chinese-English translation.

If you want to do small language translation, then the corpus must be produced or collected by yourself, and the cost is calculated in tens of millions.

So if you want to achieve global language interoperability as he says, the cost is a big obstacle.

Even if Baize training requires much lower data than other AI models, it is estimated that the cost of achieving translation between two languages ​​will start at two to three million.

But for Father Chen, this cost is not a problem.

"Plus!" Father Chen was very heroic, "All German and French are arranged!"

Seeing his father's excitement, Chen Shen just shook his head, served himself a bowl of soup, and watched his mother's face count down.

"Eat with peace of mind!" Mother Chen glanced impatiently at Father Chen who was agitated, and then set her eyes on his bowl.

Father Chen shivered, his excited expression disappeared, and silently picked up his rice bowl to eat honestly.

Chen Shen took a sip of his mother's soup: "Mom, the soup you made is really delicious!"

"Yeah! Still a good son!"

After the pre-sale was over, Lingxi translator and Lingxi headphones were quickly delivered to consumers.

As expected, I have received a lot of praise, especially in the translation accuracy and the earphones.

It’s just that these praises don’t help much sales, the Lingxi translator still looks half-dead...

This also made Feixun and other companies temporarily relieved.
